🥄CHI-CHI-CHI-Chia Pudding Love: A Spoonful of Health and a Whole Lot of Yum

By Honey | www.livelybyhoney.com

If you’re looking for an indulgent breakfast that fuels you like a champ, chia pudding might become your new morning bestie. It’s one of those little life hacks that proves healthy can be heavenly.

Lately, I’ve been playing with flavors, and this one is a new favorite:

• 4 tablespoons of chia seeds

• 1 cup of almond milk

• ¼ teaspoon of vanilla

• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon

• 1 tablespoon of almond butter (trust me, this is the game changer!)

• 1 teaspoon of honey

Stir it all up and let it sit in the fridge for five to ten minutes. Stir once more and let it sit in the fridge overnight. By morning, it’s transformed into a luscious, creamy pudding—full of fiber, plant-based omega-3s, and a surprising amount of protein for something so sweet and simple.

It keeps beautifully in the fridge for up to five days, making it perfect for easy meal prep. I’ve read that it also freezes well for up to a month—though I’ve never had the chance to test that myself. I always seem to eat mine long before freezing becomes necessary! But if you’re someone who likes to batch prep, go ahead and give it a try—just be sure to thaw it overnight in the fridge for the best texture.

🍓 Morning Magic: How I Serve It Up

Come morning, I layer mine with plain whole milk Greek yogurt (hello, protein!), blueberries, sliced almonds, a sprinkle of Grape-Nuts for that delightful crunch, and freeze-dried strawberries for a pretty pop of color. Not only is it beautiful, it’s filling, nourishing, and absolutely delicious.

And the best part? It’s grab-and-go ready—so I can savor a few bites before I hit the pavement for a long walk while the world is still stretching and yawning. There’s something about fueling up with whole, wholesome foods that makes movement feel like a celebration instead of a chore.
